A STING-CASM-GABARAP Pathway Activates LRRK2 at Lysosomes

Kavli Affiliate: Shawn Ferguson | Authors: Amanda Bentley-DeSousa and Shawn Ferguson | Summary: Mutations that increase LRRK2 kinase activity have been linked to Parkinson’s disease and Crohn’s disease. LRRK2 is also activated by lysosome damage evoked by chemical and pathogenic stimuli. However, the endogenous cellular mechanisms that control LRRK2 kinase activity are not well understood. […]

Generalized Narain Theories Decoded: Discussions on Eisenstein series, Characteristics, Orbifolds, Discriminants and Ensembles in any Dimension

Kavli Affiliate: Masahito Yamazaki | First 5 Authors: Meer Ashwinkumar, Abhiram Kidambi, Jacob M. Leedom, Masahito Yamazaki, | Summary: We study a class of newly-introduced CFTs associated with even quadratic forms of general signature, which we call generalized Narain theories. We first summarize the properties of these theories. We then consider orbifolds of these theories, […]

Improved Planck constraints on axion-like early dark energy as a resolution of the Hubble tension

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: George Efstathiou, Erik Rosenberg, Vivian Poulin, , | Summary: Axion-like early dark energy (EDE) as an extension to $Lambda$CDM has been proposed as a possible solution to the ‘Hubble tension’. We revisit this model using a new cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization likelihood constructed from […]
